\p{L}/\p{Lu}/\p{Ll}/\p{N}/\p{Z}/\p{Ps}/\p{Pe} (+\P negation) land in
both escape positions of the regex compiler, mapped onto the byte PEGs:
ASCII exact, any high byte (inside a UTF-8 sequence) counts as a LETTER —
so ^\p{L}+$ accepts UTF-8 words while \p{N}/\p{Z} stay ASCII. (?u) was
already a tolerated no-op flag. Unknown property names error at compile.
Chasing the acceptance target (cuerdas via deps-conformance) pulled in the
rest of its clj-compat chain, each a real gap:
- the deps-conformance harness reads libraries under clj-compat reader
features (deps are clj/cljc by definition — without :clj, cuerdas's
#?(:clj (instance? Pattern x)) branches resolved to NIL bodies)
- instance? knows Pattern/java.util.regex.Pattern (regex values) and
Character (cuerdas's rx/regexp? gate on split)
- the java.lang.String method surface: .toLowerCase/.toUpperCase/.trim/
.indexOf(-1 on miss)/.lastIndexOf/.substring/.charAt/.startsWith/
.endsWith/.contains/.replace/.equalsIgnoreCase/... — ASCII case mapping,
unknown methods error (the old path silently returned nil)
- the (.method obj args) SUGAR now desugars to (. obj method args) in the
interpreter — it was never implemented (bare .method heads resolved as
vars, hence 'Cannot call nil')
- Long/MAX_VALUE / MIN_VALUE statics (f64 approximations)
deps-conformance: medley ok, cuerdas ok (was check-error); dependency now
loads its clj branches and fails only on its single-segment ns resolution.
30 new spec rows (11 regex, 19 interop). Gate exit 0.
adds self-hosted compiler is functionally:
- The default compile path is the portable pipeline using jolt.analyzer (Clojure) → host-neutral IR → backend.janet.
- The analyzer is itself Clojure, compiled by jolt for true self-hosting.
- bootstrap-fixpoint passes (stage1 == stage2 == stage3): rebuilding the compiler on its own output.
- clojure.core is now self-hosted in the overlay.
- Stateful forms (defmacro/ns/deftype/defmulti/require/in-ns) are interpreted by design.
- host-interop-spec: add an 'interop / janet bridge' suite — janet/<name> and
janet.<module>/<name> resolution, the value-representation boundary (a Jolt
vector crosses as a Janet table), explicit-only (unprefixed module not
exposed), and unknown-symbol errors.
- nrepl-test: assert a def's value renders as #'ns/name (pr-str loops on a
var's cyclic ns refs, so jolt.nrepl renders vars itself).
Final spec areas. Bugs caught and fixed:
- (def name docstring value) used the docstring as the value; now the 3-arg
docstring form binds the value and records :doc meta
- resolve was a nil stub; now a special form resolving a symbol to its var
(nil if unresolved). Added find-ns (non-creating lookup) and ns-name.
- in-ns didn't evaluate its arg, so (in-ns 'foo) failed; now evaluates it per
Clojure (the integration test's unquoted form updated to the quoted idiom)
- #(... %& ...) built %& as a positional param instead of a & rest param;
now emits (fn* [... & gen] ...) so %& captures the rest
Full public-API spec layer now in place. conformance 218/218, jpm test green.
